    Yes, "For Honor". That means you will fight for your honor.
    You're not dishonorable for fighting dirty or unfair.

    And if you mention honor why do we still have dishonorable executions? Why is it allowed to run away from a fight then? And why is it allowed to hit someone in the back (which is dishonorable). If you do not decapitate your opponent it's dishonorable.

    There are many dishonorable things in For Honor but ganking and ledging are not one of them.

    the game in a way does punish people for ganking, I think only in Deathmatch though, I may be wrong on that but I know its in Deathmatch. You receive a dishonorable point deduction for fighting with the advantage of more people. Honestly just get used to switching from person to person after each hit, feels good when you win a 3 on 1, and in that circumstance you bet im doing an emote.

    As for pushing people off cliffs or into spikes, if the devs didn't want that to happen it wouldn't be in the game.

    If you want to talk about fighting dirty, I always like getting the salty teammate who follows you around and continues to deal damage to his/her own teammates. I may or may not have been forced to accidentally call in a mortar shot on players like that... ha!

    That is the thing that gets me with this whole debate, the honour junkies show more respect to their opponents than their allies.

    I have never been one of the honour crowd, what I have done is tabletop and play by post D&D games, the true moral north, the paladin, often has something in his code along the lines of before all else defend your allies and that while fighting fair is preferable (offering redemption more so in the case of the deity my paladin followed but not really a thing in For Honor), dying means you're doing no one any good at all. If I were fighting by any code at all, defending the ally next to me would be very heavily a part of it.

    fact! this is a team based game unless you are doing duels of course. it is tough to find a solid team who is willing to play as a team and not for themselves. I love the fact there is friendly fire in the game, but some people learned quickly if they kill you they can revive you and get more xp that way. if I don't like my team, I don't kill them, I just find a new team the next match. one thing I think would help though is nobody plays with a mic in this game. one cannot make plans saying "OK" or "I GOT THIS" I think the lack of communication is at the heart of the lack of friendly dishonor.

    Going back to the paladin example, the main consensus in any group I have been in with a paladin is your god(dess) has priests to spread the word, you serve your religion and code by letting your actions be the example to your allies and those you meet (in other words stop spouting off about it on the forums and start acting your values rather than sending zones and unlocked heavies at your allies or letting them be executed given that is harm coming to your allies through your inaction).

    Microphones working within the team on dedicated servers is something I believe the devs need to get working for communication as much as I get hey it is this state or not having servers yet, I also think the last patch should have moved everyone to team as the one moving everyone to group did rather than just be the default for new players.

    Though being brutally honest friendly fire is something my group has taken advantage of in tribute, kill me, revive me, get me a full bar, but yeah in pugs people will do that, I had killed an orochi having started with less than half health and ending on my last hp, started my execute, in comes a raider with a zone, gave the orochi credit and renown for killing me 1v1(!), lost me renown for the execution then didn't bother reviving, just walked off with the flag I had fought over.

    thats a good point on skirmish, if you dont mind the final kill to death ratio its a great way to make sure you have full health going into the next fight. i useually just run to find one of those healing zones and hope i dont run into a player.

    have you ever played Assassins Creed? I think it was Syndicate that had the ability to create actual clubs or groups with real players, there was team based objectives that you could unlock and actually get something for playing as a team. Being so that Ubisoft makes both games, that could be another good option to add to the game. it could be as simple as just unlocking scavenger crates per level, or special weapons or gear. this would also help dominion not be the only 4v4 that doesnt take forever to find a match in. i think tribute is one of the best matches in the game.

    They should probably just rename the game to Stabby *****.

    Lol, I've had brawl matches where I've been wowed to death by both ally and enemies for denying an execution. I finished my guy quick (probably ledged him, who knows) waited out the length of the match to see if my ally would win, and the minute they initiated an execution, I came in to deny it. Of course next match they both came for me. Gave me revenge, and then both died. XD
